I unlocked the Redshift handheld video game system; became obsessed and made a video player ( https://www.reddit.com/r/exapunks/comments/tzv1m5/redshift_v... ) among other things. So fun! I should progress past Redshift.

Cool work, thanks for sharing! I saw briefly in the video https://youtu.be/QlfCfkzkBB4?si=xkuPS0Dj9Z9hnjAP&t=57 that you were using 3d renderings of eyes for training? Did you find a rigged eye like that, or make it? So it worked well enough for training. Are you using actual captures for training too? or is it not worth using?

I like the progressive example toys. Thanks!

I’ve done the same with a q3 and virtual desktop for a few weeks and hours at a time when I didn’t have a good monitor. I could run a 4k screen after tweaking the settings a bit. (And using a dummy hdmi plug so an external monitor was not needed)

It was best curved and large (and angled down a bit) so that I use it like it is 4 1080p screens. And move head to see each (and a bit more) sharp.

The newer version (tested briefly) lets you arrange several virtual monitors wherever. Not as convenient/sharp as a large 4k tv/monitor on my desk, but for a backup monitor and mobile it was great. I’ll give it a shot again.

I didn’t have to disable mobile mode to move my fingers over the browser navigation from the app and still control the puck. It’s very replaceable. I like the statistics. Perhaps one that shows a histogram over all games and where you rank for score etc? But top tennis is generous.

Very fun! Works great on iPhone. Neat that I can stop by just lifting my finger to take a breather. Fun multipliers! More to discover!

Nice. I’m similarly spoiled for choice now. Past workplace:

1. Swiss Miss Hot chocolate mix

2. Starlight Peppermint Mints

3. Lemonade

4. Peanut butter

For variety, I tried many combinations. Some: 1+3: bad, 1+2, 2+3: good, 1+4: awesome

(Hmm... A qr code to an audio stream? Could be a fun challenge to get it to sync reliably.)

Nice! Does-this/can-this handle interlacing?

(Half vertical resolution, offset a bit every other frame)

OP's relationship story sounds so familiar to me.

[Insert TMI story.] Cycle of abuse: https://psychcentral.com/health/cycle-of-abuse

Fortunately, it ended ok. I healed for over a year before dating again, and dated someone for exactly a year to make sure it was good relationship. It still is. :D

Occlusion could be done with head tracking for one observer (not both eyes though); but defeats the point. I'm guessing AR glasses will work for much of this.

I was thinking shooting the piece into a basket or something, but aiming for the player's forehead sounds fun.

Cool project!

Could a hefty reverse magnetic pulse launch captured pieces off the board? And maybe with some precision by controlling the offset and power?

Neat, I played with 360 equirectangular projection gen for a gamejam last year. It has some interesting possibilities and challenges.

I started to image segment objects then generative infill to replace the background and make objects in the forground to work have z depth for vr, used switchlight ai to make objects into PBR textures so I could have dynamic lights...

I later found this tool for generating 360 panoramas: https://skybox.blockadelabs.com/025e37f6fb27d9f2495cbbbf874f...

What would be cool is to have ai generated scene that is spatially coherent and explorable. I think it's possible with a bit of tooling now...

Curious what the author's plans for this is.

Reminds of an early tank simulator where the driver in the cockpit saw a video feed from a camera on a gantry they were slowly driving around a diarama. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=AcQifPHcMLE

"Real engine" for just one player at a time though.

Consider meshroom, nerfstudio, (search alternatives too) ffmpeg to split to frames.

This is neat, but yeah, another fun challenge: have it build a letter/word/pixel art from random pieces, the best it can.
